A fantastic read. Elton grabs a sheaf of current issues, moves forward in time, drapes it all over Orwell's 1984 but (just) comes out with a positive at the end.

Blind Faith, was the best novel i've ever read, closely followed by Past Mortem, but this one was fascinating and explored the issues which are very important, not only in the future, but today as well.

A fantastic book, frigthening in its possibilities for the future. Elton writes with such a discriptive manner you cannot help but form vivid pictures in your mind....that stay with you. My all time favorite book and a story that stays with you in everyday life.

An amusing read but a ghastly preview of how the mores of today could become the culture of the future, (or lack of culture) The very thin line which already exists between sexual freedom and sexual aggression becoming even thinner and the absolute disappearance of courtesy and consideration give us a horribly credible look at the future.

Blind Faith by Ben Elton is a must read.
A frightening vision of an all too near future, many aspects already embedded in our society. Made for non stop reading, a real thought challenge to our thinking.

This seemed to me to project reality shows rather than the real world into the future. It was never funnym, sometimes darkly satirical. Little subtlety done but with a heavy hand.

Anyone who is sceptical of this vain, sad country we live in will find great pleasure reading this.
Blind Faith is another masterpiece from the best topical commentator around.

I really enjoyed the Ben Elton, Blind Faith book, it opens your eyes to what could happen or maybe even starting to happen in todays society. If you like 1984 by George Orwell you will see lots of similarities. The story kept your interest all the way through and I found I just had to keep reading, the characters were very strong and I felt as if I knew them. The characters names added some light relief to the story
The book had lots of twists in the plot and it left you feeling sad at the end ...

i really enjoyed Blind Faith with all its twists and turns. i loved the ending because it left me feeling disturbed but satisfied. i have read several Elton books and while i wouldn't say it was his best it certainly wasn't his worst. i would recommend it to anyone.

I'm not even half way through this book and wondering whether I can be bothered to finish it. Half hearted attempt at recreating George Orwells 1984 and fails miserably. Not funny at all, so far very disappointing, I'll write another review if I ever finish it.

Just finished Blind Faith by Ben Elton. Wonderful! A caricature of modern life, tawdry and dross, with its reality T.V., chat shows, technology, and inconsequential web sites, as opposed to refinement, culture knowledge and manners, which are rapidly being chucked out the window. It's great to realize that other people are thinking the same as you. Ben Elton is a great writer.
